Take the Mickey - What Does It Mean?
I'm editing a book in which this expression comes up a few times. It must be British because the text was translated by a British-schooled translator.
Can anyone tell me what "take the mickey" means?

Dear StCirq,
It is quite obvious. "To take the Mickey" means to go out on a date with an Irishman.
